I know a thing or two about Clyburn’s gerrymandered 6th district. One year I went to vote and Joe Wilson (R)’s name wasn’t on the ballot but Clyburn’s was. That’s when I learned my address was no longer in Wilson’s 2nd district.

My MIL’s house lies in Clyburn’s district; it didn’t used to. But the homes across the street are still in Wilson’s.

It’s about nothing but insuring SC has a majority black district where letters to Clyburn from white constituents go in the trash. Clyburn is a racial pimp who wants you to think his parents were last off the slave ship.

Slavery is not employment. It is exploitation and involuntary, and the fringe benefits are either extraordinarily bad, or non-existent, with no wage negotiation or appeal for poor working conditions, and few if any ways out of the bondage, short of escape and living as a fugitive.

Pretty much the way of life for any non-Muslim living in a Muslim majority country that has fully adopted Sharia law.

With 200 million, you could have walked across the ocean.

The most commonly accepted estimate is two million.

What’s a couple of orders of magnitude when you’re discussing government work? It’s a rounding error.

Not really true. The old and the young were cared for but not "employed" in the eyes of this jerk.

Clyburn is typical of the rest of the Congressional Black Caucasians: worshipful of the Food Stamp President who excused laziness and government dependence and denigrative of a president who provides a wealth of jobs and higher wages and who believes in hard work and personal responsibility.

“Why don’t you ask”

Except at Walmart, when I deal with clerks it’s because I am using their company for my business. I see the same people a lot as this is a tiny town. Because I have seen incredibly bad reactions against pro-Trump people I am reluctant to say or imply, “Hey, I’m a pro Trump guy.” I need these companies and an angry clerk going full TDS could really screw with my business.

When Obama was running against McCain I worked at GD, which had a huge number of black males. Every other car had an Obama sticker. There were no McCain stickers. I asked a couple of McCain supporters why none of them had stickers. Their reason was the same as mine. We were all afraid of having our cars damaged. That’s the Left. If you run into one, they can be as dangerous as rabid dogs.

I carry. Having seen how crazy Lefties can be, I don’t want to risk a confrontation where I might need to shoot somebody to avoid harm.

Appearing Tuesday on the Fox Business Network, House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) dismissed record-low black unemployment under President Donald Trump, stating black Americans “were fully employed during slavery.”

What does Clyburn mean by stating black Americans “were fully employed during slavery?” What wage did they receive? How many hours per week did they work? Were they able to seek employment elsewhere for higher wages?

Maybe Clyburn needs to take a time out and study work conditions associated with slavery and modern day employment.

If he was a candidate for president, maybe he would call for full employment for blacks.

Yeah, dumbass, and because of your affiliation with the Democrat Party, you're still fully employed.
